I used to love the following :
iviii) song - Candle in the wind.....singer ??

NM, there're two versions by Elton John.
The first was for Marilyn Monroe, the later which was a runaway hit was rewritten by John and dedicated to Diana.

Yeah Querida n AR....
I know the second one was dedicated to Diana.."Goodbye English Rose'.....wasn't sure if the original version was also by Sir Elton John.....

Careless Whisper was a hit during my schooling time... I remember a guy was after one of my friends, she hated him so much!! He dedicated this song to her during a party and we nicknamed him "careless whisper'..... can't remember his real name now

Now , he has written "Times they have changed ", recently, Michael Douglas was in the video.

i think the song you're referring to is 'Things have changed' ... i dont remember the exact words but it goes something like this -

people are crazy, times are strange
i'm locked in tight, i'm out of range,
i used to care, but
things have changed

the song is part of the soundtrack for the curtis hanson film 'Wonder Boys' starring michael douglas & tobey maguire.

interestingly, the same film also had another bob dylan number -'shooting star' - anyone heard it?

Yeah, It is one of the greatest love songs, not the melodramatic songs from boy bands.

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of you.
You were trying to break into another world
A world I never knew.
I always kind of wondered
If you ever made it through.
Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of you.

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.
If I was still the same
If I ever became what you wanted me to be
Did I miss the mark or
Over-step the line
That only you could see?
Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.

Listen to the engine, listen to the bell
As the last fire truck from hell
Goes rolling by, all good people are praying,
It's the last temptation
The last account
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,
The last radio is playing.

Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip Away.
Tomorrow will be another day.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you
That you needed to hear me say.
Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip away.

I really love it when he moves in to higher gear, urgency in his voice when he sings,

"Listen to the engine, listen to the bell
As the last firetruck from hell goes rolling by,"
What imagery!
look at the words he uses,
"It's the last temptation
The last account
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,
The last radio is playing."
I don't think anyone can match him in usage of words
